Sony A7 II review

The A7 II’s stabilisation sets it apart from every other full-frame camera on the market. For shooting handheld video, for shooting with long lenses or for shooting longer exposures in low light conditions, it’s a star. But it’s outstanding in almost all other aspects too. Like the original A7 before it, it’s a masterfully-built, well-designed camera that delivers spectacular stills and excellent video. And all in a fairly compact package, considering its capabilities. It’s not cheap (and don't forget, the price above is for the body without a lens) but if you’re seeking the best all-round system camera Sony has to offer, this is it.
Pros:
  • Stellar imaging quality
  • 5-axis stabilisation massively boosts handheld performance
  • Top notch build quality and design
Cons:
  • No 4K video option

Best in class

I don't know that a more capable videography/photography device exists in this size. The a7S is back with everything the first generation was missing (I had one). This is the ultimate low-light shooter for video and photography.
Pros:
  • Now with Internal 4K
  • LUTs and IBIS! Low light monster Gorgeous video and photo Small and light package Adapt lenses from almost any system ever
Cons:
  • Internal recording codec could be better Menus still mostly suck Limited system lenses 12MP limits post-processing options

Sony Alpha 7S II Review

When Sony launched the Alpha 7 and Alpha 7R two years ago, the manufacturer was looking to target two different types of photographer. While the Alpha 7 was out to appeal to enthusiasts looking for a full-frame camera with an ‘all-round' level of performance, the Alpha 7R was aimed at landscape and...

  • Improved low light performance
  • Built-in image stabilization
  • Wide range of usable ISOs
  • More sophisticated autofocus performance
  • Excellent video capabilities
Cons:
  • Relatively low resolution
  • Mediocre continuous shooting performance
  • No built-in flash
  • No losslessly compressed RAW option

I have owned a A7s for 18 months and love it. While I do take a lot of photographs my main interest is video. I live and travel on a sailboat and spend time in remote locations. I needed a new second camera and decided to stay with Sony. I have only used it a few days, but so far it's great.

Sony A7S II review

The A7S II is certainly more of a specialist's camera than its sibling the A7R II. I think the latter is a better all-round performer and a superior buy for the more general shooter, but if you're looking for a compact system camera that offers class-leading low light performance and...
Pros:
  • Superb video quality
  • Great in low light conditions
  • Metal-bodied toughness
Cons:
  • It's really expensive
